Ultrafast defect dynamics: A new approach to all optical broadband switching employing amorphous selenium thin films

Optical switches offer higher switching speeds than electronics, however, in most cases utilizing the interband transitions of the active medium for switching. As a result, the signal suffers heavy losses. In this article, we demonstrate a simple and yet efficient ultrafast broadband all-optical swi...
